Chapter 272: Sachets
Concubine Xi can make Qin Kexin happy, and Yu'er is naturally willing to hurry up and return the gift.
So he took the hairpin ordered by Qin Kexin and went to Xining Garden.
As soon as Yu'er left on the front foot, Xiao Shujun returned to the soft fragrance garden.
As soon as the keen Xiao Shujun approached Qin Kexin, he asked about the different fragrance on Qin Kexin's body from before, and subconsciously looked at the sachet that Qin Kexin was wearing, "The queen has changed the sachet?" ”
"yes, does it smell good?" Changing to his favorite fragrance, Qin Kexin's whole person was a little happier, and when he saw that Xiao Shujun noticed this fragrance, he stepped forward to let Xiao Shujun smell it.
Seeing this, Xiao Shujun smiled and lowered his head, the tip of his nose fell on Qin Kexin's shoulder, and sniffed lightly: "It smells so good, the queen may not know that when I first saw you, this was the smell on you." ”
The reason why Xiao Shujun was impressed by this smell was because of this, and he was shocked at how the smell on this girl was so good.
"Really?" can evoke Xiao Shujun's memories of his past, Qin Kexin is even happier.
When he and Xiao Shujun first met when they were a little younger, Qin Kexin couldn't remember what sachet he was wearing at the time, but in terms of how much he liked this fragrance, it was very likely that it was the sachet of the camphor lotus flower he was wearing.
"The concubine is wearing this today, is this still the intention of the concubine Xi?" Qin Kexin said.
"Concubine Xi?" Xiao Shujun didn't understand what Qin Kexin meant.
Qin Kexin explained to Xiao Shujun that this sachet was given to her by Concubine Xi.
Xiao Shujun didn't think much about it, maybe it was just the communication between the concubines themselves, but he still stared at the sachet tightly, and vaguely felt that he didn't feel it.
Qin Kexin didn't have such a feeling, seeing Xiao Shujun staring at his sachet, he teased: "If Your Majesty likes this sachet, give it to Your Majesty, and let the concubine make one again." ”
Xiao Shujun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I really like it, but I don't want the West Guifei, I want the queen to do it herself." ”
"Your Majesty is really greedy!" Qin Kexin said this, but his heart blossomed, Xiao Shujun told himself in disguise that he was only willing to make it himself, especially the sachet which has a lot of special meanings.
"Isn't it greedy for me to be greedy for anything from the Queen?" Xiao Shujun deliberately approached Qin Kexin and asked.
Hearing Xiao Shujun say this, Qin Kexin was even happier, I don't know where the courage came from, she actually raised her head and kissed Xiao Shujun's face, fortunately Yu'er was not there at this time, otherwise she would have to make fun of her for half a month.
"Your Majesty wants it, and the concubine will start doing it, is it a bribe to say these meaty words?" Qin Kexin realized that she was shy, and while talking, she pretended to be calm and left the place and walked to the back room.
Xiao Shujun looked at Qin Kexin's back meaningfully, thinking that his queen was still so cute! If you are surprised, you can tug at your heartstrings.
When Yu'er came back, she saw Qin Kexin embroidering something, so she leaned up and asked, "The queen mother, is your hand itchy?" It's been a long time since I've seen you embroider. ”
Since Qin Kexin became the queen, she has indeed rarely touched these needles and threads, and she is a little rusty when she picks them up.
"Just now, His Majesty said that he also likes this sachet, and he has to make one for him in person, how about Concubine Xi?" Qin Kexin lowered her head to embroider, didn't look at Yu'er, and asked directly.
When Yu'er heard this, she thought that this majesty was quite interesting, and even asked the queen mother to make this sachet herself......
"Concubine Xi was naturally happy to receive the queen's return gift, and she was even more happy to hear that the queen would wear the sachet she made herself, and said that she wanted to invite the queen to go on a spring outing together." Yu'er told Qin Kexin about Concubine Xi's attitude just now, and relayed what Concubine Xi asked her to convey.
"Spring outing?" Qin Kexin sounded a little interested.
"Yes, Concubine Xi said that if the queen mother wants, she will arrange the rest." If Qin Kexin hadn't shown interest, Yu'er wouldn't have said this.
"Naturally, you are willing, you will inform Concubine Xi in a while, and let her start preparing for the spring outing." Qin Kexin was stuffy in the palace all winter, this finally warmed up the weather, the spring flowers bloomed, naturally he wanted to go out to take a good look at the scenery, and the spring outing was a good choice.
And apart from Xiao Shujun and Yu'er, Qin Kexin has not had anyone else to talk to for so long, this Xi Guifei seems to be a person who can talk, Qin Kexin is naturally going to go.
"Okay, the slave will go and convey it to Concubine Xi." After Yu'er finished speaking, she was about to go out.
But he was stopped by Qin Kexin again: "By the way, you go out of the palace to find some good camphor lotus flowers for the palace, and put them in His Majesty's sachet after the palace is ready." ”
The growth conditions of this camphor lotus flower are exquisite, and there is naturally no one in the palace, so you have to go outside the palace to find it.
"Okay, Yu'er will go in a while." Qin Kexin's orders, Yu'er didn't dare to delay.
At night, Yu'er came back in the dust, handed a small bag of camphor lotus flowers to Qin Kexin, and couldn't help complaining: "This camphor lotus is too difficult to find, the slave maid inquired all the way, and walked through several manors to find such a good camphor lotus." ”
Qin Kexin was distressed when he saw Yu'er's embarrassed appearance, but he still couldn't help but want to laugh: "Okay, okay, this palace knows that you are working hard, how about doubling your monthly money this month?" "Actually, it's not just this matter, Yu'er has been following Qin Kexin for so long, Qin Kexin has long wanted to find an opportunity to reward her.
As soon as Yu'er's little money fan heard that he had twice the monthly money, all the fatigue disappeared suddenly, and he nodded frantically and said yes.
Qin Kexin couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yu'er's eyes open when she saw Qian.
Yu'er scratched her head embarrassedly, and said, "So it seems that the sachet that Concubine Xi prepared for Niangniang is quite attentive." ”
Qin Kexin heard this, nodded noncommittally, this sachet is not simple in terms of raw materials or production process, Xi Guifei can know her preferences and make such a beautiful sachet, naturally it takes some effort.
"What did Concubine Xi say about the spring outing?" Qin Kexin now has a little good impression of Xi Guifei, and is even more looking forward to traveling with her, you must know that it is not easy to make Qin Kexin have such a good impression of a person.
"Concubine Xi said that she should prepare as soon as possible, and she should be able to take the queen out of the palace the day after tomorrow, so you can wait with peace of mind." Yu'er replied.
Qin Kexin nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.
Qin Kexin picked up the bag that Yu'er brought back, and as soon as he opened it, he asked about the taste, and Qin Kexin knew that it was a good camphor lotus.
Suddenly, the fragrance of camphor lotus filled the whole room, which made people feel refreshed.
However, Yu'er sensed that something was wrong, "Queen Mother, why is the fragrance of this flower so strong?" Not the same as the sachet on you? ”
Qin Kexin saw Yu'er's doubts and explained; "What you brought back is fresh camphor lotus, naturally it can't be compared with the one that has been dried for a few months, naturally it is more elegant in the sachet, otherwise how can the smell be brought out so strong."
I see! Hearing this, Yu'er nodded suddenly in realization.
Next, Qin Kexin put these camphor lotus flowers in the container she prepared in advance to dry, thinking that the camphor lotus flowers dried in spring would definitely smell better than those dried by Xi Guifei in winter.
Qin Kexin hadn't smelled the smell of camphor lotus sachets for a long time, and he always felt that the taste given to him by Xi Guifei was a little strange, and he thought that there should be some deviation in the production technique.
"Niangniang is really ingenious, and His Majesty will definitely like the sachet made." Yu'er looked at Qin Kexin's skillful operation from the side, and couldn't help but praise.
When Qin Kexin heard this, he just smiled simply, this sentence reminded Qin Kexin of Mama Qiao, this skill of making camphor lotus sachets was handed over to him by Mama Qiao.
Qin Kexin put the camphor lotus aside for preservation, which had to be left to dry for a few months, which was a big project.
Two days later, the day of the spring outing arrived.
Concubine Xi personally came to Soft Xiangyuan to pick up Qin Kexin.
"I haven't seen you for many days, but Concubine Xi is a little more beautiful." Qin Kexin looked at the exotic Western Guifei in front of her and gave a heartfelt word of praise.
Compared with the appearance and temperament of the Central Plains woman, Xi Guifei is a little more enchanting, and Ren Qin Kexin's daughter can also see God.
"Where, the queen is so good-looking." Xi Guifei let out a silver bell-like laughter, which made people feel a little happy when they heard it.
Qin Kexin's deepest impression of Concubine Xi was when she saw her dancing for the deceased Qing Concubine in the Imperial Garden, and her dancing at that time amazed Qin Kexin.
Qin Kexin also stopped greeting and said to Concubine Xi: "It's not too early, let's go." ”
"Okay, all the concubines are ready, just let the concubines go." After that, Concubine Xi made a move to let Qin Kexin go first.
"Let's walk side by side." Qin Kexin felt that Concubine Xi cared too much about these differences between dignity and inferiority, but in fact, for the people she was optimistic about, Qin Kexin disdained to take out her identity to talk about things.
Seeing this, Concubine Xi felt that she didn't have to be too angry, so she walked side by side with Qin Kexin.
Seeing that the two ladies got along well, Yu'er and Ning Er, the maid of the West Guifei, looked at each other and smiled, compared to the maids of other concubines, this Ning Er was very into Yu'er's smoke, and she got along with Yu'er quite well.
This Ning'er, like Concubine Xi, is also an exotic woman, and she was brought into the palace by herself when Concubine Xi entered the palace, so Yu'er was thinking, are exotic women so easy to get along with? Not as twisted as most Central Plains women.
Several people got into the carriage prepared by Xi Guifei in advance and rushed to the place where Xi Guifei had also arranged the spring outing in advance.
Along the way, there was a lot of laughter in the carriage, and Qin Kexin found that he and this exotic woman could really talk.
Concubine Xi's words revealed clarity and boldness, which made Qin Kexin inexplicably comfortable with her, and she was naturally willing to talk to her more.
Yu'er hadn't seen Qin Kexin speak so freely for a long time, and she was a little surprised, but Qin Kexin found a 'confidant', and Yu'er was still very happy.
